Tyneside Sounds Society invited producers to create something new using only the audio from a digitisation of a 1/4" analogue tape recording by BBC of the first time Newcastle Civic Centre Carillon Bells were played publicly on 1st December 1967

The tape was digitised by Tyne & Wear Archives as part of the national Unlocking Our Sounds Heritage project led by the British Library.

Listen to original recording:

Rules were: Only use this audio, do not add any extra synthesis, instruments or sounds that already exist. Exception to rule being you can use a voice, singing, spoken or otherwise but has to be recorded exclusively for what you make.

Samplers, DAWs, effects, granular synthesis are all fine. It can be as lo-fi or hi-tech as you want.

Submissions were played on Star & Shadow Radio on Weds 6th January 2020 https://mixlr.com/star-shadow-radio
